What is a Qajar Persian rug?

It is a textile or carpet created in Persia during the Qajar dynasty, known for incorporating traditional motifs, floral designs, or historical portraits. These pieces reflect the specific weaving and embroidery practices of Persian workshops active from the mid-nineteenth century into the early twentieth century.

How do I identify a Rasht embroidery?

Rasht embroideries are characterised by silk threads and applique work applied directly onto a wool felt ground, often featuring black, red, or neutral tones. They originate from the Gilan province in northern Persia and display dense floral or medallion patterns executed entirely by hand.

How should I care for an antique textile?

Protect the piece from direct sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyes, and use a suitable underlay to reduce friction against the floor. Gentle surface cleaning by a specialist conservator helps preserve delicate wool and silk fibres without damaging the underlying structure.
